Recommended Posts

Hi,

first of all sorry for my english, is not my native language.

I made huge mistake and need your advice to help me solve my problem.

I have flashed accidentally my bios with wrong version. I have Y580 (v bios: 5dcn40ww) but instaled bios from G580 (v bios: 5ecn96ww). Flashing proces went smoothly w/o any errors but after restart my HDD is not visable in bios (only SSD work).

When i tryied reflash it back, pop an error:

I googled a bit and find the way to skip this error (extracted 5dcn40ww.exe using winzip and edited

[Platform_Check]
Flag=0

in platform.ini )

It helps, but in next stage, during flashing it returns an error:

After many attempts and edits platform.ini i couldn't solve this error. If any1 know how to do it please tell me!

I have same problem with wrong BIOS version, do everything like stayinthelight, but I get error:

Error 104: The 2 SPI flash devices do not have compatible command sets.

BIOS is downloaded from official lenovo website. How can I fix this?
